The Roman Ramble

Reviewed By 401tonyd - Harrogate, United Kingdom

If you like the big skies of a floodplain walk with the added interest of a sleepy river, Roman remains, and and achingly pretty village (Aldborough), then you’ll enjoy this relatively short walk. The day we did it the weather was perfect, and we finished with lunch at the Ship Inn. Perfect.

The Devil's Arrow

Reviewed By S6761WOphilh - Doncaster, United Kingdom

Erected in prehistoric times and distinctively grooved by millennia of rainfall, the tallest stone is 22.5 feet (6.85 m) in height, making this the tallest menhir in the United Kingdom after the 25 feet (7.6 m) tall Rudston Monolith.[2] The other two stones are 22 feet (6.7 m) and 18 feet (5.5 m) tall respectively and it is thought that the alignment originally included up to five stones. William Camden mentions four stones in his Britannia, noting that "one was lately pulled downe by some that hoped, though in vaine, to finde treasure."[3] One was apparently displaced during a failed 'treasure hunt' during the 18th century and later used as the base for a nearby bridge over a river. The stones are composed of millstone grit, the most likely source of which is Plumpton Rocks two miles south of Knaresborough and about nine miles from where the stones stand today.[4] The outer stones are 360 and 200 feet (110 and 60 m) away from the central stone and form an alignment that is almost straight, running NNW–SSE. It is thought that they may have been arranged to align with the southernmost summer moonrise. The stones are part of a wider Neolithic complex on the Ure-Swale plateau which incorporates the Thornborough Henges.
